Square in the Face (2nd in the Claire Montrose Series)

About the bookWhen a former coworker and friend urgently needs her help, Claire Montrose agrees to do a little sleuthing. Years ago, Lori gave up her child to a secretive adoption agency. Now Lori's young son is ill, and the doctors say his only hope is a bone marrow transplant from a sibling. Lori talks Claire into finding her long-lost daughter. The closer Claire gets to the truth, the more twisted and perilous the search becomes. Using her wits, charm, and savvy sleuthing skills, she digs up old secrets--but someone is willing to kill to keep them buried.
